Haunted House might appeal to a preteen crowd due to its simplistic play and dime-store scares, but anyone older will just be bored with the constant repetition. Retro fans might also be disappointed that the original game is not included (although you can play it for free online at the official website). This remake is worth experiencing only for how effectively it points out to old-time Atari 2600 fans just how much time has passed since 1981, and how you can't go home again…especially when said domicile is loaded with ghosts and monsters.
An enjoyable and hefty modern remake of a spooky Atari classic
